Hardback. Condizione: Fair. From the Nobel Prize-winning writer, an oral history of children's experiences in World War II across Russia--in the vein of The Unwomanly Face of War and Secondhand Time NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST For more than three decades, Svetlana Alexievich has been the memory and conscience of the twentieth century. When the Swedish Academy awarded her the Nobel Prize, it cited her for inventing a new kind of literary genre, describing her work as a history of emotions . . . a history of the soul. Bringing together dozens of voices in her distinctive style, Last Witnesses is Alexievich's collection of the memories of those who were children during World War II. They had sometimes been soldiers as well as witnesses, and their generation grew up with the trauma of the war deeply embedded--a trauma that would change the course of the Russian nation. Collectively, this symphony of children's stories, filled with the everyday details of life in combat, reveals an altogether unprecedented view of the war. Alexievich gives voice to those whose memories have been lost in the official narratives, uncovering a powerful, hidden history from the personal and private experiences of individuals. Translated by the renowned Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, Last Witnesses is a powerful and poignant account of the central conflict of the twentieth century, a kaleidoscopic portrait of the human side of war.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle AwardWinner of the Nobel Prize in Literature A journalist by trade, who now suffers from an immune deficiency developed while researching this book, presents personal accounts of what happened to the people of Belarus after the nuclear reactor accident in 1986, and the fear, anger, and uncertainty that they still live with. On April 26, 1986, the worst nuclear reactor accident in history occurred in Chernobyl and contaminated as much as three quarters of Europe. Voices from Chernobyl is the first book to present personal accounts of the tragedy. Journalist Svetlana Alexievich interviewed hundreds of people affected by the meltdown---from innocent citizens to firefighters to those called in to clean up the disaster---and their stories reveal the fear, anger, and uncertainty with which they still live. Comprised of interviews in monologue form, Voices from Chernobyl is a crucially important work, unforgettable in its emotional power and honesty. The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Svetlana Alexievich for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Here's a fun-filled book for young Russian speakers -- and at the same time, an easy, effective way for students of Russian to build and strengthen their vocabulary skills. The book consists of 15 common scenes (14 double-page and one single-page), each devoted to a different theme or topic: picnic, on the farm, classroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, at dinner, supermarket, at the beach, my town, at the zoo, at the park, vehicles, and more. Each scene contains dozens of familiar objects, all clearly identified by Russian words. By studying the pictures, students can learn over 500 terms for a variety of household items, clothing, foods, furniture, animals, parts of the body, types of stores and public buildings, and other subjects. To help reinforce words and meanings (and for more fun), all scenes can be colored. In addition, a complete list of Russian words and their English translations is located at the back of the book. Altogether, the result is an attractive and useful language resource that will appeal to any student of basic Russian, child or adult. Steadman, Barbara (illustratore).…
